The History of the Logo

 

The old logo (right) was introduced in 1967 and designed by Dean Charters. In an interview for the Humber newspaper, This is Humber, Charters discussed the logo in the following terms:

"I first decided  that a college like Humber, in itself part of a new development in Ontario, must have a striking, new symbol, I wanted one that wouldn't be too literal, because you tend to give such designs one glance, then pass them over. With this design, you first become aware of something. You look at it and say 'What is it?' Then you see it's an 'H'. Really, it's a do-it-yourself symbol. We've invited you to fill in the missing horizontal bar and have made you participate. You've completed a mental exercise which you'll find difficult to forget. From now on, you'll always associate the symbol with Humber College." (page 11 of "This is Humber", volume 1)

The logo was in use until the current "H" logo was introduced in 2000.
